Hi There, Sorry you were disappointed with your visit to us. We always aim to provide an informative and interesting shopping experience for our customers. We always offer samples of cheeses that customers are interested in buying, every cheese on the counter is different and if you talk to us and let us know what you are looking for we will offer samples of cheeses we think are suitable. It does not do the cheeses any favours to bombard people with samples of loads of cheeses they may not like or appreciate. Unfortunately November is still far to early to buy Christmas cheeses as they will not be at there best come Christmas. We always advise customers of this rather than taking their money for cheese that will be past its best by Christmas. We always advise to buy cheeses as close to the time you need them and try them at the time of buying not weeks earlier, this is because all our cheeses are hand made and a lot use raw milk so each batch can vary greatly.
